It really is amazing how little distortion there is in such a wide lens I can barely get straight lines on a 28mm lens using an accurate pentaprism viewfinder, never mind something you have to line up through a little hole. Well done. I'm looking forward to seeing more photos from this fascinating camera.Marcus Peddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828640292397153550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635427135333425336.post-25227791235724722382018-04-29T03:10:47.384-08:002018-04-29T03:10:47.384-08:00I know what you mean about Gitzo, my old Reporter ...I know what you mean about Gitzo, my old Reporter (Made In France) is a wonderful thing - just extremely cold when in the mountains and heavy over a long day.

The tearoom is a cracker and I also like the phone exchange shot. I can see David's point about a 6ft print. If you ask your missus to stretch her arms out from her shoulders you should be able to sellotape a large sheet of paper to her fingertips. Swing the head of the De Vere round and you're away.
